Original Dunlop Tires (Collectable?)
Posted: Wed Apr 27, 2022 10:06 pm
This might be a crazy question but I am replacing the original Dunlop Tires on my just acquired 1980 CBX. These original tires look great and only have 8952 km on them.
I would never use these tires as a daily driver due to the age of them and as such am putting new Avon Roadrider MKii tires on the bike. I will keep the original tires at home.
Are these original tires something that someone would want to put on their bike to make it original as more of a show bike rather than a riding bike.
The last time they were driven was 1988 according to the executor of the estate and the previous owners wife.
Let me know you thoughts. Should I throw them out, keep them with my bike, or sell them to someone who wants to restore to factory original.
Thanks kindly.
